My friend Whitney (male) is the archetypal Gemini (his Sun is in Gemini), or at least tries to make himself seem that way. He's very subjective, laid back, and has jokerish mannerisms. He's in art school, and his artwork is what I describe as dark but cartoonish at the same time (very comic bookish).

Anyway, he complains a lot about his mom. Like he absolutely hates her, or at least says he does. He's also afraid of attachments with women and SAYS he prefers detached relationships and often says that he refuses to get married. He does, however, have a girlfriend, but it's long distance ("THE WAY I LIKE IT!"). Of course, I think this is a facade and I probed a little deeper into why he's so freaking scared of women. I asked him about his mom. He says that his mother made favorites out of his two older sisters and left him pretty much on his own for most of his life. His father, who Whitney described as kind of a chauvinist, of course made him his favorite... but his parents divorced and his father started another family and pretty much ignored Whitney after the divorce. Whitney, does not hold a grudge against his father, and saves most of that for his mom. She wasn't necessarily a bad mom from what I can tell (I've known Whitney for years, his mom was my Girl Scout leader), she always calls him and complains that he never wants to talk/see her. He doesn't want to talk to her because of his resentment of her "abandoning" him when he was younger.

I guessed that he had a Scorpio moon, because I thought he was hiding behind a mask because he's afraid of his emotions, casued by the rejection of his mother. Turns out, I was right.

He was either born at 9:30 or 10:30 AM. In either case he has a Scorpio moon and a Leo ASC. His moon is in the 4th. I think he might explode with emotion one of these days and do something scary because of his VERY emotional and intense inner nature that he is hiding (very well, I might add).

So do Scorpio moons sometimes act unemotional... so much so that they fool themselves into thinking that they have no emotions?

I can't tell you exactly what a Sco is like because I'm not one but I can tell you what I do know of them as my mum is a Sco sun and based on what I've read/heard here and elsewhere. Well Sco is a very intense sign, it is very suspicious, untrusting and paranoid on a bad day. Terribly emotional and sensitive, very much into feeling and holding those who they love VERY close to them. I have read somewhere that a Sco Moon is in detriment because it is too emotional and intense for a Moon to handle.

Your friend would have these qualities about his Moon. WIth the Moon being in the 4th, his mother had a very big impact on his home life and he will probably replicate that when he moves away from home maybe. He lived in a very emotional household, maybe surrounded by females.
